Chapter 142: The Old Man Meets Again (1st Update)
"Who, who had something to do with that woman's death! How that woman died, everyone in the capital knows! ”
Chen Xi immediately looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with a complex expression of fear and disgust on his face.
Shen Zhiyi, who was beside her, also immediately said, "Yes, you...... Who are you? Don't talk nonsense! ”
The other women all looked at Xu Jing a little stunned, because of her words, and because of her people.
Mrs. Zhao reacted first, first glanced at Xu Jing deeply, and then glared at Chen Xi and Shen Zhiyi with a strong hatred, and said, "You two shut up for me, the person who is the least qualified to talk about Zhen Niang in this world is you Chen Xi, and your followers!" ”
After speaking, she looked at Xu Jing and introduced to Liu Fuyue and Guo Liuyun beside her: "This is Dr. Xu who has seen me during this time, Dr. Xu's medical skills are very good, I brought her here this time to ......"
As she spoke, she was stunned, and seemed to finally remember why she brought Xu Jing over, and her face sank, "How did you come here?" I heard Xiao Tao say that Mrs. Yu was dying, and she wanted to see me before she died, and asked me about something, so she didn't think about anything and got into the carriage that Xiao Tao sat in. ”
Xiao Tao is the maid beside Mrs. Yu.
And Xiao Tao said that she still had to inform the others, so she didn't come with them.
Liu Fuyue and Guo Liuyun glanced at each other, and Liu Fuyue said: "Until now, we won't hide it from you, during this time, Liuyun and I have been rushing to make a birthday gift for Brother Eucalyptus, I am making a small jacket, and Liuyun is making matching hats and shoes." Because my little jacket is still a little bit unfinished, Liuyun came to my house today to assist me, and after I finished it, the two of us set off to the Song Mansion together, and because of this, we set off later than others.
When the carriage was halfway through, Peony, the maid next to Mrs. Yu, suddenly stopped us, she said to us, Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Yu is going to die, and wants us to go to see her, we were startled, but we originally wanted to go to the Song Mansion to talk to you about this first, and then go to see Mrs. Yu together, who expected, when Peony was talking to me, several guards who came with her suddenly stepped forward and stunned us. ”
When they woke up, they were here.
Young Lady Zhao's face became more and more somber.
As keenly as she was, she realized that the current situation was very wrong.
Xu Jing glanced at Liu Fuyue and asked, "At that time, did you have guards by your side?" ”
Liu Fuyue was slightly stunned, nodded and said: "Yes, but because I and Liuyun set off late, the majority of the troops have already gone to the Song Mansion, and there are only four guards around me and Liuyun." ”
Xu Jing nodded, looked at Chen Xi and Shen Zhiyi, who were blue on the side, and said, "What about you?" That's how you were deceived? ”
Because Xu Jing asked too naturally, Chen Xi and Shen Zhiyi didn't notice for a while that this question was asked by her, it didn't seem right, Chen Xi's face turned black because of something, and said: "No one told me about Mrs. Yu at all, I was attending a banquet in the Song Mansion, but I went to a thatched house, and I was brought over in a daze!" ”
And Shen Zhiyi is only the daughter of a five-grade official in Xijing, and she is not qualified to be invited to the Song Mansion to participate in the banquet at all.
According to her, she was brought over by someone who was stunned when she went out.
Now, everyone knew that they had all been arrested here, and for a while, there was a silence in the room overflowing with uneasiness and fear.
Guo Liuyun was a little less courageous, and couldn't help crying, "How can this be!" What a bold thief who kidnapped us! Doesn't he know who we are? It's just that he didn't take a few of our families in his eyes, and Shaohua is not something he can move! The Zhao family and the Song family knew that Shaohua was gone, and they would definitely mobilize people to look for it all over the city, and it was only a matter of time before they found it! ”
Judging from the conversations between several of them, Zhao Shaohua is undoubtedly the most prominent among these people, that is, Chen Xi and Shen Zhiyi clearly dislike Zhao Shaohua, and they dare not speak disrespectfully to her.
At this time, Xu Jing said lightly: "It seems that there are more than a few of us who have been taken captive, and I look at the bedroom, there seem to be people." ”
The few of them were now like frightened birds, and immediately turned around with frightened faces, staring at the bedroom separated by beaded curtains.
At this moment, I heard a weak voice from the dormitory, "You guys...... Who are you? Where is this? ”
Listening to the voice, the person inside had just woken up.
Zhao Shaohua was bolder, and walked straight forward to open the bead curtain, and when she saw the people inside, she was slightly stunned, "Mrs. Xu, you were also arrested?" Anyway, just come out and talk. ”
In the circle of nobles in Xijing, there are few people who don't know Zhao Shaohua, so what Zhao Shaohua said has a certain weight.
Soon, the people in the dormitory walked out, and when they saw the bright woman wearing a powder blue and a bra skirt, Xu Jing's heart jumped slightly, and her lips behind the veil were already raising a wry smile.
It's really a narrow road.
When she heard Zhao Shaohua call the woman inside "Mrs. Xu Shao", Xu Jing had a bad premonition.
At this moment, her premonition came true - that Mrs. Xu Shao was the eldest sister of the original owner, Xu Ya, that is, the daughter of the Wen family, the woman who ascended the throne after the death of the original owner's mother.
Ironically, she was born a year before her original owner.
For example, when a man's wife did not give birth to a son for him, and the eldest son came from the belly of the concubine, and the concubine was innocent, he could raise the concubine after the death of the man's wife.
It's just that, strictly speaking, after all, it is not in accordance with the etiquette law, and only some low-level officials or businessmen in Dachu will do this, and some big families who pay attention to etiquette are strictly prohibited.
So, why is that woman the true love of the original owner's father? Wen's background is actually not bad, the Wen family is also a scholarly family in Bianzhou, Wen and the original father grew up together, but the original father is ambitious, he knows that as a concubine, no matter how talented he is, the family will not do their best to support him, so he is eyeing the Xu family, one of the top wealthy businessmen in Bianzhou.
The Wen family is also able to endure, in order to fulfill the ambition of the original father, he is willing to commit himself to being a concubine, and when the original father needs to use the financial resources of the Xu family, he has been lying low and small at home, until the original father has gained a firm foothold in the officialdom, and then gradually reveals his true colors.
Her son, the eldest son of the original father, was born after the original father used the Xu family.
If it weren't for Xu Ya's existence before the original owner's mother married the original owner's father, Wen was afraid that she would endure not having children until the day when she could raise her eyebrows.
Back then, Wen's family was low and small at home to the original owner's mother and the original owner, and even Xu Ya couldn't raise her head, which was the most unbearable memory in her life for Xu Ya, who has always been arrogant.
Therefore, after the death of the original owner's wife, she was one of the people in the family who hated the original owner the most.
Xu Jing quietly looked at the woman not far away with a beautiful face but a weak and pitiful expression.
She remembered that the original owner and Lu were urgently called back to Xijing in order to take over a family affair that Xu Ya was unwilling to want.
At that time, Wu Youbing, the concubine of Wu'an Hou Mansion, came to the Xu family to propose marriage, and the original owner's father didn't want to miss the opportunity to marry Wu'an Hou Mansion, but Xu Ya was reluctant to marry, so he remembered the original owner who had been in the cold for many years.
Although the marriage between the original owner and Wu Sanlang did not come to fruition, Xu Ya did not marry Wu Sanlang.
Because at that time, she had already climbed a higher high branch - Jiulang, the grandson of the Wang family, Wang Yandong.
